New Scalameta Inline Macros- Examples

Metaprogramming in scala evolves at the speed of light. Great example of that is Scaladays 2016 conference. One day we have heard that macros will be removed from the language:

Next day we heard about bright future of them:

Recently, I’ve been observing scalameta project and reading its gitter.
After previewing some papers(links on the end of post) about new inline macros and Eugene Burmako presentation mentioned above
I’ve decided to give them a try and port my simple examples from previous posts to new inline macros.
I wanted to check if it is possible to run them and… it is :) But If you will preview commits on master
branch you will see what I’ve meant in my first sentence of this post where I wrote that metaprogramming
in scala evolves in speed of light. On Thursday I’ve version with some bugs, Saturday was release of
Snapshot version, which removed some of them, and on Tuesday was release of scalameta 1.1.0 and macro
paradise 3.0.0-M5 which solves bugs I had in my examples.

I encourage you to preview this repo. Also don’t hesitate to give me reply if you see something wrong on them.
